Holmes_and_Watson Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 Edozie: Presumably due to Cornet coming in? As we've all pointed out, the end product isn't there yet. But I think he's come on in a lot of other areas. With his 2 sub appearances, I can see why he'd want to build on that, and his game here, rather than drop down. He should be getting regular games for Utd though ( caveat of ignorance on who they have as competition there), which can hopefully bring us back a player who will be really useful for us next season.

You know what I'm getting at - they messed around signing Man City youngsters when we were desperate for experienced Prem players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

egg Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 Just now, Viking Saint said: IYO, is Ramsdale the biggest statement Saints have made since signing Keegan?? It depends on how you view it. I think some of our league 1 signings were massive statements that we were there to be the best, get promoted, then be the best. Regardless, he's a proper statement signing for where we are now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We scored more goals than any other team last season (if you include the playoffs) I don’t think we’re as impotent as you might think. The keeper situation was far more pressing and I’m glad it’s been resolved as that was statistically the worst in the league. With a good keeper we would have walked the league last year.

davefizzy14 Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 Definitely think Edozie should go out on loan for the season to a championship side to get further playing time and development which is what he needs. With Cornet incoming, we can enable this to happen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chez Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 36 minutes ago, Viking Saint said: IYO, is Ramsdale the biggest statement Saints have made since signing Keegan?? Might well be. Spending a £1m in League 1 on Lambert was a pretty big statement, as was paying Fonte an absolutely massive championship wage to get him to drop down a division and similar to retain Lallana. I honestly don't how good Ramsdale is, but I hope he lives up to our sky high expectations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see him thriving off the kind of through balls Fernandes and Dibling were playing against Cardiff and him and Archer would provide good competition for that role. If we do get Cornet too, he would be a replacement for Edozie who may go out on loan and assuming he can stay injury free, would probably offer a better goal/assist contribution than Edozie too.
